Blog 1_Project/ Semester 2

I have enrolled in the 'Project' subject for Semester 2 and read and made notes on the following chapters:

·       H DIP CMP Project_Guidelines_Handbook
·       RSA Briefs for 2016/2017
·       COMP08004 201200
·       Reports including research report examples from previous student projects

At this stage I have read the requirements both for originality, creativity, technical requirements and time available to work on this project. I have worked on brainstorming of many ideas as per RSA Brief and HDIP CMP guidelines. 

These range in scope of creating an app for healthcare (brief number 2: The Good Life) to creating an app for educational purposes (brief number 11: Learning for Life). These could take the form of an ‘interactive book’ or ‘interactive website.’

I have linked in with the listed ‘Resources’ section on the RSA Design Brief website where I have looked at the many tools available. What I have found is that they are mostly orientated around ‘Human-Cantered-Design.’

The ‘IDEO Design Kit’ has this feature and is composed of three primary phases:

1.     Inspiration
2.     Ideation
3.     Implementation

There is a ‘Field Guide to Human Centered Design,’ which is an excellent site for the three above stages to get the design process moving along in a timely way which is also good for the project management. I have used this toolkit extensively in the last week to map out my project ideas and filter the good and the bad ones from the plan.
